The morning sun cut thin lines through the blinds, painting stripes across the room. A crisp, red IPC uniform hung perfectly over the chairback, its emblem catching the light.

He let out a low, frustrated groan and turned his face away, waiting in resentful silence for someone to retrieve them. The room felt heavy with unspoken need and brittle pride.
